(newbie) licensing question. NIC ID means i have to pay somehow?

Hallo forum!I 'm in panic!I completed a form and put my NIC ID, then a mail came to me with a license file. I used it and then "it said" that the license type is web edition and that i can use the software til september 09. Do i have to pay somehow for this, and if so can i cancel it somehow?I I just want to use the free edition of quartus for educational reasons, as a student. I sent a reply message to altera but i think i 'm going to die until i get a responce.Thank you.

    Yes no worries. That is how the free license works. It is free but Altera still wants the license tied to your NIC. I think they like to keep track of who has licenses and where they are being used. When it expires in September, you can get another free license.

    Don't panic. The Quartus web edition license is free of charge.
